Suggest Remedy For Bruises In The Thigh

Hi.. MmY partner noticed a dollar sized black nearly bruised colored spot on my back thigh.. It been there for almost 3 months now.. It gets slightly swollen and tender but does not affect my daily activities. Today i ve noticed it is pretty swollen again and it gets darker.. Should i worry cause it goes away and my skin peels off but the dark color is still visible that looks like a bruise.. Thanks!

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to haematoma from a previous trauma. Getting darker is getting resolved. It will get absorbed slowly. Skin will peal off also. You can apply warm compress for fast absorption. Only if more pain or discomfort is there then you can approach an orthopaedic surgeon for surgical evacuation of it.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
